The police in Benue state have arrested an Okada rider, simply identified as Godwin, for allegedly defiling with his 10-year-old in-law in his home in Kanshio community, in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State.

Godwin’s evil act came to light when the victim went to purchase an item at a chemist over the weekend. While there, she told the chemist that she had persistent pain in her stomach, but after much interrogation, the victim opened up that Mr Godwin had been defiling her.
